MUMBAI: Vidhu Vinod Chopra's Hollywood venture, Broken Horses, is all set to release on 10 April, 2015. The movie will be marketed and distributed by UTV Motion Pictures in international markets.
Set in the shadows of the US–Mexico border gang wars, Broken Horses is an epic thriller about the bonds of brotherhood, the laws of loyalty and the futility of violence. The film has been co-written by Chopra and Abhijat Joshi (PK, 3 Idiots, Lage Raho Munnabhai, Mission Kashmir) and it based on an original story by Chopra.
“It’s been a pleasure to work with Vidhu Vinod Chopra on one of the most anticipated movies of this year, PK. He has an impeccable track record and we are happy to collaborate with him on his first Hollywood project Broken Horses. As a studio we have always believed in building and fostering great professional relationships and opportunities like these help us strengthen them further,” says Disney India vice president and head, marketing and distribution - studios Amrita Pandey.
Chopra adds, “Making a film in Hollywood was extremely challenging, it’s the first time ever that an Indian has written, directed and produced a Hollywood film. But the challenge turned out to be a lot of fun. It was very fulfilling for me as a filmmaker. I am delighted that UTV Motion Pictures has come on board to market and distribute the film in international markets.”
